INDIANAPOLIS >> Michigan State’s Darqueze Dennard and Oklahoma State’s Justin Gilbert are considered the top two cornerback prospects for the NFL draft.

They’re friendly, but Gilbert said they don’t talk about who will be drafted first.

“I guess we’ll see come draft day,’’ Gilbert said. “I think he’s a pretty complete player. He’s not as fast as me I can tell you that, he’s not as fast as me.’’

Both are a possibility for the Detroit Lions with their 10th overall pick.

Gilbert said their games are pretty similar.

“I think he’s a pretty good ball hawk and does a pretty good job of playing the ball in the air as well as me,’’ Gilbert said.

He uses one word to describe his game, “Solid.”

Still Gilbert, like any good cornerback, thinks he should be the first cornerback drafted.

“I think I’m the best corner in the draft, I’ve worked hard to be in the position that I am, I’m not going to let anyone take that from me,’’ Gilbert said on Sunday at the NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium.

He said there are reasons he’s the best corner.

“Dedication to the game, the work that I put in day in and day out, off the field, watching film, making guys around me better,’’ Gilbert said.

Dennard and Gilbert met at an awards show and definitely hit it off.

“He’s a pretty good guy, he’s funny, he had me laughing,’’ Gilbert said. “He calls me pretty boy and makes fun of me because I always take selfies on my phone. He’s fun to be around.’’

He doesn’t have a name for Dennard.

“I’m a nice guy I don’t call him names,’’ Gilbert said.

There is one question the two corners don’t discuss — who will be drafted first.

“We don’t talk about that,’’ Gilbert said.

All in the Fuller family

Virginia Tech cornerback Kyle Fuller grew up in an NFL family.

His older brother Vincent, 31, played six seasons as a safety for the Tennessee Titans and one game in 2011 for the Lions.

His 23-year-old brother Corey is a wide receiver for the Lions who was drafted in the sixth round in 2013. Younger brother Kendall is a Virginia Tech.

Their success drove him.

“It means a lot, it definitely makes you want to get to that level, it definitely keeps you humble and makes you continue to work hard to get there,’’ Fuller said. “I believe it just shows all the hard work and focus all my brothers have had to get to this point. We’re thankful and blessed for that.’’

Fuller said he wasn’t sure what teams he would be interviewing him.

He and Corey have been training together in Orlando.

Kyle’s goal at the Combine is to beat Corey’s 4.37 in the 40.

Receiver speed

The wide receivers ran their Combine 40s on Sunday.

Oregon State’s Brandin Cooks posted the official low time at 4.33.

Pittsburg State’s John Brown was just behind him at 4.34.

The top three wide receiver prospects were a bit slower — Sammy Watkins at 4.43, Mike Evans at 4.51 and Marqise Lee 4.52.

Saginaw Valley State’s Jeff Janis was tied for the unofficial lead with a first attempt at 4.30 but that was unofficial. His official time was 4.42.
